15 Firm Attorneys Selected for Inclusion in the 2014 Edition

Florida and Birmingham, AL. – August 22, 2013 – The Best Lawyers in America, universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence, has given Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell a “Tier 1” ranking for its Product Liability Litigation Defense practice. The publication has also named 15 firm attorneys in a wide variety of legal practices from Florida and Alabama for inclusion in the 2014 edition (Copyright 2013 by Woodward/White, Inc., of Aiken, SC).

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which almost 50,000 leading attorneys cast nearly five million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”

“Best Law Firms” rankings provide a comprehensive view of the U.S. legal profession that is unprecedented both in the range of firms represented and in the range of qualitative and quantitative data used to develop the rankings. Achieving a high ranking is a special distinction that signals a unique combination of excellence and breadth of expertise.

The mission of “Best Law Firms” is to help guide referring lawyers and clients — from the country’s largest companies requiring corporate legal advice to individuals seeking counsel regarding personal legal issues.”
